The Invitational, to benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation, is limited to 120 guests and is not a PGA Tour event. Players buy sponsorship packages that include a three-day, 54-hole competition at Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club, with proceeds supporting college-access programs for underprivileged youth. The courses are the same used during the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Other Invitational highlights for guests will include a private golf exhibition featuring Woods and a dinner hosted by Woods and Pebble Beach co-owner Peter Ueberroth.

Information about the event from the Tiger Woods Foundation website didn”t specify if spectators would be allowed. A call to the foundation Monday afternoon was not immediately returned.

The annual Clay Walker Charity Classic at Pebble Beach, a similar event hosted by country music star Clay Walker in June, is private with no spectators allowed.

The weekend before the Invitational, Woods will compete in the Frys.com Open at Cordevalle Golf Club in San Martin. It will be the first time he has played that tournament.

“I always enjoy competing in my home state, and this tournament fits my schedule perfectly,” Woods said in announcing his entry into the Frys.com Open. “I”m looking forward to seeing some old friends.”
